Take a look at those several scripts and see how they relate to one another. It's good to put those scripts into modules where they can be reused.
For myself, I find that when I am coding, I often develop a series of "favorite techniques" that have a similar theme (like being CGI or DBI related). When I do that, I think it's good to take those separate bits of code and combine them into one module of related functions. For you, instead of having 5 scripts, you might only have two, if their functions are combined along similar lines.
It sounds to me like what you are doing is creating modular code. This is a Good Thing. Just as Larry Wall (I think) said that a program should do one thing and do it well, a module should do one thing (or handle one set of related tasks) and do it well.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
